Comment Sad, but it's worth it (Score 2) 61

To teach the youth that all of their idiosyncrasies and negative behaviors are to be cherished, fostered and enshrined in their "identities". Everything is permissible, especially failure, mediocrity, ugliness and hate. Who needs math, science or critical thinking. All I need is my democratic socialism and we're going to do it right finally. We've come so far, the utopias of my sci-fi dreams will spring from the classroom litter box, the 3500 hours of Fallout 4 I've accumulated, and of course the same way this was always going to end...removing everyone who disagrees with me from the planet. The future, I can taste it and it tastes like siiiixxxxx seeevvvvvvennnn. No cap.

Japan and Singapore have some of the world's lowest homelessness rates. You have to be extremely deliberate about being homeless to stay homeless there.

I do not doubt that is true.. But have you seen some of the "apartments" that qualify as living space in Japan? 8.83 meters squared.. That's about double the size of the average prison cell in the US... https://www.surfacemag.com/art...

A super-majority (> 66%) of Americans own their home (I'm not claiming no mortgage - but these are folks who are not renters. They either own their home or on their way to paying off their home).

And yet, what's Chicago doing right now? Yeah.. Getting ready to squeeze those owners for even more tax money 'cause of all the cash they blew on illegals.. That's not debatable. That's pure facts.

Owning a home in liberal states just makes you another person who can be squeezed for additional tax revenue.. And should you not have the ability to pay those extra taxes.. The state will take your property away and sell it to someone else..

That along with a federal jobs guarantee.

What the fuck? So anyone who graduates from college with some worthless degree can what? Go to work for the federal government?

You cunts are still at it.. College is the only way to have a good career? Hrm? Can't just learn a trade and do that?

So sick of you elitist assholes. You know a degree doesn't mean you'll get a job so you want to foist these assholes on the taxpayer on both ends? Those of us with jobs (who pay taxes) can pay for your fucking degree and fund a job for your ass, should you obtain a degree that is useless (or in low demand) in the real world?

Take a look in the mirror. You'll see a socialist.

In the military you generally learn two things. One, using tools and learning skills designed to kill people and destroy things.

For a small subset of the people, yes.. For the vast majority? No.. For every member of the military that has a job to "kill people" you'll have 3 or 4 in support roles. Example: The motor pool. Filled with mechanics whose primary job is to fix damaged / defective vehicles..

I was an Avionics Technician. I fixed the electronic systems on the jets. We had 30 to 40 pilots and somewhere around 100 technicians. The pilots (another very transferable skill) killed people. None of the 100 techs had that as a "primary duty". Jesus, even in combat zones, none of us techs even carried a weapon.. Well.. I had a rather nice knife, but that was more for utility than as a weapon of war.. I did kill a few camel spiders with it...

According to the very limited research I did, nearly 90% of the 5,000+ humans serving aboard a US Aircraft Carrier have a task/job/role that has nothing to do with killing people.

Those are not really skills you are going to need in general life and practicing such skills in a civilian setting is, shall we say, discouraged.

Absolutely false. Both the mechanics and the guys doing my job easily transitioned to civilian life. You can add the cooks, firefighters, MPs (military police), fabricators, electricians, HVAC guys, and a million other specialties to those lists.

Two, you learn to unquestioningly obey orders.

Absolute and complete bullshit. We had nearly a full week of instruction on the Constitution and what constitutes a legal versus an illegal order. We were expected to know the difference and we were tested on it. It was made very clear to us that, should we follow an illegal order, we could (and probably would) be prosecuted for it (alongside the idiot that issued said order). Likewise, failing to follow a legal order also carried some rather severe penalties. That's one of the reasons why we were educated on which was which. Yes, the military expects you to follow legal orders. Of course. The military doesn't function correctly when everyone just does whatever the fuck they want when they want. Likewise, following illegal orders also can cause a tremendous amount of problems.

Everything you've said makes me think you've never served.. and yet there you are passing out BS and false information..

Thanks brother. Before I sow I always throw a few virgins, infants and some carbon credits in the local volcano and grease the palms of the shamans so my crops are good next year and the rain gods are happy. Good on you, I hear there can be mega buck grants from the politicos for tweaking those computer models depending on the administration. Have you considered starting a megachurch like Osteen? Local boys making good. Right on!

I just plant trees and rely on the Krebbs Cycle...not much money in that tho...dang.
